Hi,
I know i have binge eating disorder for many years now. i have seen therapists to fix this problem, and to lose weight (i am 30-40 pounds overweight since three years) but nothing seems to help. for a period of time i feel okay and get some progress, but in the end i always fail. just like now, since two weeks i have been in the worst case of a crisis, crying eating and feeling sorry for myself.
i have everything going for me, i go to college and do everything i want to do. but this problems seems to be obstucting my life and i cant take it anymore. i want it gone. my question for all those who have some experience in treating this is:
should i pause my life while i try to treat this illness? i am so desperate right now that i am considering quitting this semester in the middle and go back home to begin a treatment. i feel lonely (i am studying abroad at the moment) and dont think that i can do this by my self. my reasoning is that once i eliminate all other pressures like exams and classes and taking care of my self alone, i can focus on this problem. but at the same time, is it really possible to "stop" my life, fix a problem, and then get on with it? Is it really healty?
any suggestions, comments will be appreciated.
thanks
